PREFACE 



An important lesson which the last two years' experience has impressed 
upon our national consciousness is the value of knowing some one thing 
definitely and well. This has been emphasized by the action of the United 
States Department of Labor in urging men and women to enter into training 
for some definite work. Statistics have shown that during the war emergency 
the value to the nation of the trained worker was fifty per cent, higher than 
that of the untrained, a lesson which loses nothing of its force by the transi- 
tion from war to peace. 

"The work of reconstruction involves not so much new methods of dealing 
with our problems as a shifting of emphasis and new adaptations," writes 
a Pittsburgh expert in economic matters. For the past two years we have 
seen women doing many things which we had been accustomed to judging 
beyond her ability, endurance and strength. Women in the machine shops 
have qualified as operators of light and heavy punch presses, screw and 
milling machines and lathes; as runners of ore-crushers, sorters of scrap 
iron, nailers, riveters, wire-workers, acetylene welders and solderers of air- 
craft pontoons; their work has included calking and chipping, pipe-fitting 
and assembling; in the engineering shops they have taken the drafting rooms 
by storm — in short they have developed, in an endless variety of industrial 
and mechanical processes, an ability which has won unstinted commendation 
from employers in every field. Particularly are they now encouraged in 
continuing the operation of machines of delicate and complicated build, 
and processes requiring unusual dexterity and rapidity, as well as in the 
development of those higher branches of mechanical work from which their 
lack of training has hitherto excluded them. 

Up to the time of the signing of the Armistice, the country was interested 
chiefly in the quantity and quality of women's work as a contribution to 
national efficiency. The era of reconstruction brings with it a changed 
point of view and a new responsibility. It is time for us now to consider 
this courageous and devoted service of women in relation to their own future 
welfare; what part of the experience gained may be useful in determining 
their future career; what we can do to help in conserving and developing 
the capacities evoked by this experience, and how women's scope of useful- 
ness may thus be amplified and extended to meet the present need. 

No less profoundly are we concerned with the future of those who have 
gladly borne the burden of labor in hospital, hut and canteen here and over- 
seas; with that tireless and victorious army of women on the land; with 
those who have braved the dangers and disasters of war to help in restoring 
the devastated hearths of Belgium and France; with those of the so-called 
leisured classes whose horizon has been broadened and extended by whole- 
hearted response to their country's call to service. These women have 
put their hand to the plow and they cannot turn back. Many of them 
have manifested in their two years' hand to hand encounter with the ele- 



mentary facts of life a strength and wisdom which, intelligently directed, 
should prove an increasingly valuable asset in the trying days to come. We 
shall have wounded and sick to be soothed and healed, poor to be counseled 
and befriended, children to be nourished, safeguarded and consoled, bridges 
to build, laws to be administered, cattle to be raised and corn to be sown 
when the glamour and excitement of warfare have passed away. We are 
now fairly launched upon that difficult period of readjustment of which 
President Wilson wisely said: "There will be urgent need not only for trained 
leadership in all lines of industrial, commercial, social and civic life, but 
for a very high average of intelligence and preparation on the part of all the 
people." 

In preparing this directory the effort has been made to include the educa- 
tional institutions of every county in the State which offer such opportunities 
as are here' enlisted, and if any seem to have been overlooked it has not been 
for want of attention on the part of the compiler. Especial recognition 
is due to the helpfulness of Mrs. William Thaw, Jr., Chairman of the Alle- 
gheny County Division; and also to Miss Roberta M. West, Chairman of 
the Standing Committee on Nursing of the Pennsylvania Division of the 
Council of National Defense, to whom is owing the compilation of the entire 
main section on Nursing. Mention should also be made of the assistance 
rendered by the University of Pittsburgh, and of the unceasing kindness of 
Dean L. V. T. Simmons, of the State College in Center County. 

If preference seems to have been given to courses requiring more than 
a year's study, it must be borne in mind that today the schools and colleges, 
with very few exceptions, admit special or partial students to instruction 
in a specified number of the subjects included in a regular curriculum. In 
many of the evening high schools pupils not having the time to devote to 
a two or three years' course are encouraged to take one year of study, which 
is arranged to afford a very satisfactory degree of proficiency in even that 
limited period. 

A brief survey of this sort must be selective rather than inclusive, and 
many important branches of instruction have necessarily been omitted from 
this list. Teaching has been excluded for want of time and space to do 
justice to this very comprehensive subject. The fine arts have been touched 
upon only in their relation to the industries, and foreign languages have 
not been included as a separate subject because the question of where such 
instruction might be found does not seem to present any great amount of 
difficulty. Ordinary academic courses have naturally been excluded as not 
belonging in the category of vocational training.
